Polynomial Time Quantum Approximation Schemes for Constrained Optimisation

Chinonso Onah, Kristel Michielsen

When does a noisy quantum sampler yield an end-to-end polynomial-time optimization algorithm with performance guarantees? Building on finite-depth and finite-shot guarantees for Co…

Separating Geometry From Interference in Constrained Quantum Optimization

Chinonso Onah, Stuart Hadfield, Kristel Michielsen

The paper analyzes how constraint‑preserving mixing operators move quantum amplitudes in constrained optimization problems and shows that quantum advantage depends on aligning the…

Resonant false vacuum decay in two dimensions on a 4000-qubit quantum annealer

Gregor Humar, Jean-Yves Desaules, Luka Pavešić +4

From cosmology to quantum matter, metastable states often decay through the nucleation and growth of competing domains, with false vacuum decay providing the paradigmatic example o…

Optimal, Qubit-Efficient Quantum Vehicle Routing via Colored-Permutations

Chinonso Onah, Kristel Michielsen

We formulate a global-position colored-permutation encoding for the capacitated vehicle routing problem. Each of the vehicles selects a disjoint partial permutation, and the su…

Quantum annealing inspired algorithms for the NISQ Era

Rijul Sachdeva, Vrinda Mehta, Manpreet Singh Jattana +2

We study algorithms inspired by quantum annealing that are suited for the NISQ era. First, we analyze approximate quantum annealing (AQA), which employs a discretized annealing ans…
